:So I spent all day, every day since then learning for the GMAT Quant part. and my prep test were well in the 68-74th percentile range. I got a good night's sleep and felt confident going in the Exam today. Even felt good after completing the quant part. Got out of the exam : WORST Score I have ever written Q33 in 30th percentile range!
What should I do now? I was pretty sure, my new score would not worry admissions about my quant abilities anymore and that I'd still be in time for intake January.
Take it again in a month and so 1st round Sept14?
Right now I'm contemplating, writing them that I retook the GMAT but the outcome did not improve my current quant score but that I've been working as financial analyst for over 3years and can handle numbers and would like them to reconsider their decision??
HELP!

Hi, man!
I had similar situation with verbal part. despite lerning for 4 months, especially hard for last 2 months durring which a was practicing only verbal, my first score ( when I guessed last 5 questions) was the highest(((.
I took GMAT tutor as well and he told me that comparing to other student my verbal score should be much higher... therefore I suggest you not to loose our hope and use your last chance, if it does not work,then take a brake for some time and try not to burn your brain with hard studying.

Hi Caro2789,
A INSEAD former admissions director (now an admissions consultant), recently posted on a blog that, "So INSEAD is perhaps not as flexible as some top schools as regards the GMAT – this is largely because it is a one year program". You can see the entire article at https://fortunaadmissions.com/10-insider ... -to-insead. I believe you have a really good shot at making an admit with scores in the 70 - 75 percentile range. My 2 cents would be to not rush it if possible. Prepare well and ace the test. Here's wishing you the best.
This is one of those.
